The Sleepy Eye VFW baseball team went 2-2 at the Upper Midwest Tournament this past weekend.

On June 27, Sleepy Eye pounded New Ulm Silver 11-0 to get some momentum going into the tournament.

On June 28, the momentum continued as the team beat Wayzata in an easy 10-3 win.

But trouble began on Saturday. Sleepy Eye faced Maple Grove and lost 0-1 in a heartbreaker. They had a chance to redeem themselves a few hours later when they took on Hutchinson, only to lose 4-9.

Meanwhile, the 14U VFW team has went 3-1 in their past four games. Sleepy Eye defeated Lamberton 10-2 on June 27, lost to Nicollet 0-4 on June 29, beat New Richland in a close 7-6 game on the same day, and most recently, defeated New Ulm 13-7 on June 30.
